Any time I try to perform PDF export on a PDF file already openend in Acroread on Windows 7, I am getting a write error (twice) due to access limitations, then a general I/O error. While this is basically OK, it still is a nuisance: all error messages require clicking OK, then I have to close the PDF in acroread (OK, I could have done it before...), then initiate the entire process again. Suggestion: Would it not be nice if the procedure behaves like others in Win7: if such a condition occurs, a Window pops us, saying that we cannot write on the open file, then asking us to close the file and offer the possibility to repeat the write attempt? I would love it if it behaved that way...
reproducible with LO 3.6.4.3. (Win7 Home, 64bit) Of course, this is a mistake by the user, but you really get the error message "Error saving the document xyz: Access to C:\...\xyz.pdf was denied." twice and afterwards in addition an error message "Error saving the document xyz: General Error. General input/output error.". This is not logical and seems not like a feedback from a sophisticated and technically matured software. Of course, the user has with the first error message the possibility to close the opened PDF-document and then after pressing OK of the error dialogue the pdf will be saved correctly. But this "option" is not mentioned in the dialogue. Therefore, I would agree with the suggestion from the bug reporter. This dialogue could be improved and enhanced.
Reproducible also on my current work environment: - Microsoft Windows 8.1, 64 bit, Ita gui, daily full updated; - LibreOffice 4.3.5.1, win32, Ita gui and local help; - Adobe Acrobat Reader XI, 11.0.09, win32. I think it is a pity. The fix will save a lot of time on long documents that mean long time pdf exports. Have a nice day, Carlo
